Here a a few REALLY ASSY photoshops. This isn't something that could look good with a photoshop, it needs to be done and really photographed.

so do you know yet, is this going to be a full replacement, or just stick on?

i'd go for a full replacement CF roof (if price is right and build is good...like 2x2 twill) since mines a hard top

I'd be interested if it replaced the panel too. Would also be cool if they could make one solid peice for a hard top that also fit a t-top car and would just delete the heavy glass t-tops. Always thought CF as good weight reduction, just gotta be careful it don't look ricey...

We've got a guy here in LA getting his 6litereater splitter wrapped in CF. We'll see how it goes...

On a side note, if anyone in the LA area knows a good carbon fiber guy please give me his info.

Have a few projects I'd like to get going and would keep him very busy soon (6LITEREATERDESIGNS will officially be a sponsor within a day or two, I am faxing info for finalization to Jason tonight)

^ hell yeah....

i think i CF berger panel would sell well too....somebody just needs to DO IT... i know there has been one done, and it's not cheap to do, but i think an existing company with adequate tooling/knowhow could do it...and sell a lot.

If this was to become a true replacement panel for hardtops, you could count me in. My car's bubbled like crazy.
